Wrote this while listening to the blues.*Cheap Cologne Smile*

My love has entangled me in a web. 
My heart fades 
when darkness falls 
on this lazy town, 
where your sinister smile 
engulfs the room. 
I can only watch. 

You have no idea what you do to me. 
It’s poison ivy showing up 
when on vacation. 

I am drawn to you, 
but it springs up. 
It takes away my courage, 
and I fade back into the wall. 

The room full of cheap cologne and blunt. 
It’s last call. 
I send him a drink anyway. 
And leave.
